Panasonic TC-37LZ800 LCD TV

$707.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
although the tv is on during the day (i have it in my home office), i didn't notice any reflections or glare from natural light.
from www.amazon.com
only thing so far have not totally liked is that it does not have the matte finish of the first one so that there is no glare at all, the new one has a very reflective front surface.
from www.amazon.com
the a-ips panel makes this set have the best viewing angles of any lcd on the market with absolutely no color shift and extremely minimal brightness disparity even at the most extreme angles.
from www.amazon.com
sharpest image in a bright room.
from www.amazon.com
